DarkSakul Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) So I felt that the PC gaming thread should be here in Tech Talk instead of GD as its more than just "vidya gamz" despite there being Gaming in the title. What we got look forwards to: Nvidia RTX 3000 series is out New AMD 5000 series Zen 3 Architecture This Month October 15 Next moth November 5, 2020. AMD/Radeon RX 6000 series/ Big Navi, AMD will be holding a launch event for RDNA 2/Big Navi on October 28 Cyberpunk 2077 coming, get yours from GOG.com and directly support the studio (and its DRM free).

Hawkingbird Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) I'm crossing my fingers that Logitech G915 goes on sale on Prime day. I been wanting a wireless mechanical keyboard for a while now. Razer's offering doesn't seem premium enough for it's price point and Keychron is missing too many things I like even though it's far cheaper. Edited October 12, 2020 by Hawkingbird DarkSakul 1 Quote
DarkSakul Posted October 12, 2020 Author Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Hell if Big Navi has a card that can place in-between the 3070 and 3080 at a competitive price I think I know what I am getting (AMD/Radeon). So far the speculation is that The standard flagship Big Navi card will get to about 5% margin of difference to the 3080. All AMD has to do is avoid the failures Nvidia has for for on the 3000 series as Nvidia tried to rush to compete their graphics card with the PS5 and the Series S/X. Hell speculators think AMD got a card that can compete with the 3090, but I wait for the 3rd party test results to draw that conclusion. @Hawkingbird the Logitech G915 looks like a sexy beast, I hope you get it at a good price.

From the rumors I saw, the 6900 XT is going to be priced $100 less than the 3080. If it can hit the 5% margin compared to the 3080 then it will definitely be my card of choice. It's crazy to think that an full AMD machine will be viable on the top tier level. DarkSakul 1 Quote
Psychoblue Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 My RTX 2070 super should be here tomorrow. After the mess with the 3080 I figured i might as well get what's tried and true rather than attempt to get a first run 3070 that may have some early problems. That should future proof me entering the PS5 era and hopefully be enough for RPCS3 when the supposedly netplay is done. If that netplay is worthy then I might move SFxT events to that.

Darc_Requiem Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 I'm not planning on doing any upgrades anytime soon. I'm keeping an eye on the RX 6000 reveal. Nvidia pulling a "bulldozer" with Ampere gives AMD a shot at being competitive, even at the high end, this go around. Quote
misterBee Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 I'm waiting for Big Navi also. My GTX 1080 is looking for an upgrade but I can wait a bit longer. The itch to buy a new mobo/CPU/more RAM is a bit more tempting though... Quote
Darc_Requiem Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 Nvidia's recent actions make me thing AMD has something good in the works. The RTX 30 series release was a textbook example of a paper launch. Quote

Mind you, so did the M.2 NVME hhd as well. Quote
